Chen Feitian got up before dawn, pretending to be worried in his heart, and he didn't sleep soundly.

He packed more than 2 million cash in two suitcases, then went to the breakfast shop at the entrance of the community to drink a bowl of porridge, ate a basket of steamed buns, went home with his suitcase, stopped a taxi on the street, negotiated the price, and took a taxi home.

Although this is not a low cost, it always feels awkward for him to carry 2 boxes of cash to go on the train.

Chen Fei's parents were only farmers in the countryside in their early years, and his father learned the mason's trade when he was young, and later came to the surrounding counties and cities with his fellow villagers to work, and joined the engineering team.

A few years ago, I also made some money, and bought a set of 148 square meters of four bedrooms and two living rooms in a high-end community in Xiangshi, and drove a brand-new BMW 5 series sedan, which can be described as majestic.

When Chen Fei graduated from university, his family discussed letting him come back to take over, that is, the son inherited his father's business and helped Chen's father manage the company.

Later, Chen's father said that it would be okay if he didn't come back, and he would buy a house in Jiangcheng for him to get married later.

Who knows that the good times will not last long, the economic recession in recent years, a number of big bosses who have broken the capital chain and gone bankrupt have popped up, especially in the real estate-related industries.

The big bosses have all run away, and the small bosses and contractors who follow the big bosses to make a living don't talk about it.

Like Chen's father, there are many people who fall into bankruptcy and owe debts overnight, the construction site has become a messy building, and the boss of Party A runs away directly, and the balance payment cannot be paid, and the money advanced in is considered to be lost.

Sometimes, the bankrupt boss is really not as good as a small citizen who bargains in the vegetable market, everyone knows the scenery when you are successful, who cares if you are poor and ask for food when you are down?

Chen's father has changed from Mr. Chen, who is flattered by everyone, to Chen Lao Lai, who is now on the list of dishonesty, in the past, his home was full of visitors, but now his relatives and friends are hiding away, so he is afraid that you will meet and find someone to borrow money.

Sometimes, Chen Fei feels that he doesn't want to be rich and rich, as long as the family is there, there is no illness, no disaster and no arrears, and he lives a dull life without waves, which is actually quite good.

From Jiangcheng, the provincial capital, to Xiangshi, where Chen Fei's parents are located, I drove for more than four hours and arrived at the gate of the community at 11 o'clock at noon.

The taxi driver accepted the other half of the money, said hello politely, and drove away with a squeak, and did not have the eyesight to help Chen Fei carry his luggage in.

Chen Fei carried two suitcases alone and moved them to the door of his house step by step according to the address given by his mother on the phone.

This is an old residential building, the words on the plaque at the door are blurred and unreadable, and the address given on the mobile phone text message is 203, Unit 2, Building 6.

This is a two-bedroom apartment that Chen's father asked an acquaintance to find in the surrounding area after selling the house, and it is incomparable with the previous living environment.

But the family's mind is not on this, so they will make do with it first.

Bang Bang Bang!

Chen Fei stood at the door and knocked on the door, three seconds later the door opened, Chen's mother opened the door with a surprised face, and before Chen Fei could speak, she held him in her arms and cried bitterly.

"Feifei, you're finally back, your dad has made you miserable, and the whole family has been miserable."

"Mom, go in and say, I'm still carrying my luggage?"

After the mother and son met, they were miserable and miserable, most of the time it was the mother who said it, and Chen Fei was listening.

It's probably how it was before, and how it is now, and by the way, it is a few times to Chen's father.

Chen Fei listened to it for a while, and wanted to open his mouth to say something several times, but after thinking about it, he closed it again.

Mother is a typical housewife, married by her husband, old by her children, the older she gets, the more she loves to nag, when she was a child, the family was bitter, and then followed Chen's father for a few years to live a good life, and now once she returned to before liberation, she was also in debt, and she was naturally full of resentment.

Chen Fei glanced at his mother's half-used clothes, a few extra strands of gray hair on his forehead, sighed, and comforted: "Mom, where is my dad?" I have something to tell you. ”

"Yesterday I heard that you were coming back, but I didn't go out to work this morning, and I laid down an elephant at the door."

Chen Fei put his luggage in the living room, walked out of the community, and found Chen's father at the door of the vegetable market not far from the community.

Chen's father, who is less than 55 years old, was originally high-spirited, but now he is a little older, half-squatting on the ground, smoking a pack of cigarettes for 6 yuan, mixing with a group of little old men in their 60s, and passing the time by playing chess.

Chen Fei touched it from his pocket, took out the pack of cigarettes that he hadn't finished before, stuffed it into Chen's father's hand, and shouted softly: "Dad, go back, I'll talk to you about something." ”

Chen's father followed Chen Fei without saying a word, hanging his head and sighing in a low voice, the original pillar of the family, said nothing about it, but now he has become the person with the lowest status.

Not to mention Chen's mother's complaints about him all day long, relatives and friends don't want to see him, even Chen Fei was full of resentment against him on the phone earlier, and the two quarreled a lot.

was originally the pillar of the family, but now the sinner in the family, this huge gap in identity overwhelmed him.

With more than 800,000 yuan saved in the family, and more than 2 million yuan away from the arrears of 3 million, Chen's father sometimes often thinks that it is impossible to earn it back without eating or drinking in this life, and I am afraid that he will lie in the coffin with guilt for his family.

Seeing that he was almost home, Father Chen finally remembered something, and couldn't help asking, "Fei'er, you said on the phone yesterday that we owe the money to the bank, can we pay it back?" ”

Chen Fei didn't say anything, just nodded, Chen's father was still suspicious, the two entered the living room one after the other, Chen Fei turned around and closed the door, called his parents to his eyes, and opened the two trolley boxes with a swipe.

The red banknotes were suddenly presented in front of the two of them.

Chen's father and Chen's mother's eyes suddenly widened, and the two of them trembled and bent down, reached out and took out a bundle of cash from it, rubbed it in their hands for a while, and then looked at each other.

Chen's mother opened her mouth and said, "It seems to be real money." ”

Father Chen was the first to calm down, the expression on his face quickly became serious, he tried to show the majesty of his parents, tried a few times, and sighed heavily: "Fei'er, how did you get this money?" ”

Chen Fei naturally knew their concerns, this money was a reward issued to him by the system, can you say this?

I'm afraid no one will believe it.

I had to make up an excuse, but fortunately, he had already thought of it in the car.

"I studied business administration, after graduation I worked in a foreign trade company, some time ago I went on a business trip to Africa for half a year, earned hundreds of thousands of bonuses, and now the project is on track, there are few people staring at it, and the company plans to send me again, this is the settling-in allowance I applied for."

"I went to Africa for 3 years, and I had a total of 2.25 million yuan with a bonus and settling-in allowance."

Chen's father and Chen's mother were stunned for a while, and they always felt that this money came a little strangely.

Mother Chen asked worriedly: "Feifei, why don't you discuss such a big matter with your family, you are 26 now, won't you be 30 when you come back after staying in Africa for 3 years?" You're not married? ”

Father Chen took out a cigarette and smoked silently, looked at Chen Fei meaningfully, and said nothing.

"Dad, Mom, didn't you say that there are more than 800,000 cash at home? Let's get together, first repay the loan from the bank, and we are slowly trying to find a way to repay the money we owe to our relatives. ”

"Hey! That's all there is to it. ”
